PUBLISHER'S NOTE. 

The organization of the John Bean Association in 1896, followed 
by annual meetings, have called together many descendants of the 
original settlers, heretofore strangers, thereby enlarging friendship's 
circle and offering special opportunities for the enjoyment of social 
intercourse. 

The leader in the organization was the Honorable Josiah Hayden 
Drummond of Portland, whose connection with the family takes date 
from his marriage, December 10, 1850, with Elzada Rollins, daughter 
of Benjamin Wadleigh Bean 6 . 

Mr. Drummond was a diligent student of family history, the 
president of the association, and the largest contributor with tongue 
and pen to the objects of the organization. The proceedings of 
several of the meetings have been published under his editorial 
supervision, and are rich in historical notes, the results of his patient 
research. 

It was the wish of his heart that an up-to-date genealogy of the 
family should be collected and printed, and this wish was most 
heartily seconded by many others, especially by Dearborn Gorham 
Bean 8 , Esq., of East Wilton, the efficient secretary of the association, 
who not only offered assistance in collecting family records, but 
guaranteed such pecuniary aid as was necessary to publish such 
information as could be obtained of the descendants of his ancestor, 
Joshua Bean-*, if Mr. Drummond would superintend the publication. 
This book is the result of that arrangement. 

The sudden death of Mr. Drummond, October 25, 1902, inter- 
rupted the work, but Mr. Bean concluded it best to continue the 
publication by adding such notes as Mr. Drummond had left in 
manuscript, sincerely regretting that the work could not have had 
the advantage of Mr. Drummond's errata and addenda. 



JOSHUA BEAN 



OF 



EXETER, BRENTWOOD AND GILMANTON. 



On January 21, 1661, (n. s.) the town of Exeter made 
a grant of land to JOHN BEAN, who not long previ- 
ously had come to that town to settle. Of his previous 
history nothing is known; but he was a Presbyterian 
and very certainly of Scottish descent. He was married 
before he came to this country and had at least one child; 
but according to tradition his wife died on the voyage 
and he married again; nothing is known of his first wife, 
and but little of his second save that her given name 
was Margaret, that she joined the Hampton church in 
1671, was dismissed from that church September 
11, 1698, to aid in organizing one at Exeter, Sep- 
tember 21, 1698, of which she was a member in 1705. 
John Bean died in 17 18, having survived his wife. 

Among their eleven children (two of whom died in 
infancy) was 

James 2 , born in Exeter, December 17, 1672, by a 
wife, whose name is unknown, had two sons, the older 
of whom was named John for his grandfather whose 
favorite he seems to have been. James 2 by a second 
wife had several other children. 

This son Johnj was the fourth of the name in Exeter 
and in deeds was styled "John, ye fourth." The maiden 
name of his wife is not known further than that her 
given name was Sarah. They named one of their sons 



"Sinkler" — indicating that John's mother or Sarah's 
father was a Sinkler, a family living in Exeter and 
already connected with the Bean family by marriage. 

Joiin-3 and Sarah Bean had a son Joshua*. 

The author of the history of Gilmanton assumed that 
JOSHUA4 was the grandson of JOHN 1 and the son of 
JOHN-. But JOHN 1 conveyed certain real estate to 
John Bean " my beloved grandson of the same Exeter 
the son of my son James Bean," and the deeds tracing 
the title to this real estate and that for which it was 
exchanged, show conclusively that the John Bean, who 
was the father of Joshua-*, was this "beloved grandson," 
so that the correct line is Joshua-*, John3, James 2 , John 1 .* 

1. 

V. Joshua Bean-* (Joku?>, James-, John 1 ) was born in 
Exeter about 1713; he married, (1) Hannah Robinson, 
daughter of Thomas Robinson; she died in 1757, and 
he married, (2) in 1758, Lydia Brown, born about 1730; 
he died in Gilmanton in 1787, and she, January 21, 1S23, 
in Weare.

tiously bear arms. 

While tradition has it that Joshua Beans moved to Winthrop (now 
Readfield) in 1784, there are facts which indicate with great 
certainty that the removal was at an earlier date. He was one of 
the Selectmen of Winthrop in 1784, 1786 and 1790; Moderator of 
Town Meeting in 1784, 1785, 1786, 1787 (twice) and in 1 79 1 . Tie 
was Representative to the General Court in 1787, when a move- 
ment to divide the town was made and the town voted "to send by 
Mr. Bean, their representative to the General Court to have it 
effected;" but the division was not made till 1 79 1 . He was also 
sent a Delegate in 1786 to attend a Convention in Falmouth to 
consider the question of the separation of Maine from Massachusetts. 
As Joshuas married his cousin, Marvs, their descendants have a 
double line back to John 1 , the immigrant. They are descended 
from Sinkler4, equally as from Joshua*, but in this account only the 
male line is given.

born in Readfield, March 24, 1844. 

Children, by first wife, born in Readfield: 
t 747. Nelson Shepard?, b. July 18, 1845. 
-L. 748. Fred Emery?, b. May 14, 1853. 

Nelson Shepard Bean?, married, July 7, 1869, Ella Frances 
Blanchard, daughter of Sidney and Cordelia M. [Galloupe] Blanchard, 
born April 13, 1848; he died April, 1900; no children. 

Hon. Emery Oliver Bean, son of Oliver and Patience (Nickerson) 
Bean, grandson of Elisha and great-grandson of Joshua Bean, was 
born in Readfield near the head of Lake Maranacook, September 10, 
1819. 

His boyhood did not differ materially from that of other children 
of his time. A good home, with the self-sacrificing tenderness of a 
mother's love, united with strict parental discipline, furnished the 



7i 

impetus to his life of usefulness. Work in plenty, and schooling a 
little beyond the average — a term at Kent's Hill Seminary, followed 
by two or three at Monmouth Academy — gave him a foundation on 
which to establish a good, practical education, and these together 
with an indomitable will power, and ambition to make a success of 
life, in its broadest meaning, enabled him readily to become an 
important factor in the growth and upbuilding of his native town. 
Having a natural inclination for the legal profession, he entered the 
office of Hon. Timothy O. Howe in Readfield and for many months 
devoted himself to acquiring a knowledge of the law, under the 
instruction of his gifted teacher. After admission to the bar in 1843, 
he went to Hallowell, where he was so fortunate as to spend a year 
with that master of the profession, Hon. Henry W. Paine. Follow- 
ing this he became a partner of Mr. Howe, practicing under the firm 
name of Howe & Bean until 1848, when Mr. Howe removed to 
Wisconsin. In 1876, Fred Emery Beane became a partner of his 
father, remaining in Readfield two years, practicing under the firm 
name of Bean & Beane, then opening an office in Hallowell, where 
the firm has continued practice, and also in the Readfield office, up 
to the present time. 

Mr. Bean was married, October 8, 1844, to Miss Elizabeth Hunton 
Craig of Readfield. Two children were the result of this marriage — 
Nelson S., born July 18, 1845 an ^ Fred Emery, born May 14, 1853. 
Mrs. Bean passed away January 22, 1892 and her son Nelson 
Shepard in April, 1900. June 28, 1896, a second marriage occurred, 
this time to Mrs. Georgia C. Nickerson, also a native of Readfield, 
the widow of H. Owen Nickerson. The little cottage in Readfield, one- 
half mile from his childhood's home, where so many years of his life 
have been spent, and endeared to him by its associations, this, with 
its surroundings, is one of the most attractive homes in town, speak- 
ing well for the loving care of its inmates. In politics Mr. Bean was 
a Whig, until the dissolution of the party, and ever after a Democrat. 
He represented his town in the State Legislature in 185 1, and in 
1856 served as State Senator. 

In 1879 he was appointed a trustee of the "State College of 
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts," serving in that capacity seven years. 
In 1880 he was elected Judge of the Probate Court in Kennebec 
County by a plurality of six hundred ; quite an honor, surely, for a 
Democrat in a county of from two to three thousand Republican 
majority. 



72 

He held the office four years, and no appeal from his decisions 
was sustained in the Supreme Court of Probate and only one in 
insolvency proceedings. 

Almost every year since he reached his majority he has served in 
some office in his town, especially in the oversight and management 
of the public schools. Only one acquainted with the working of our 
New England town system can appreciate the importance and value 
of such service, for which one receives little compensation beyond 
the satisfaction of working for the public good and which, therefore, 
falls to the lot of only public spirited men. 

For almost half a century, also, Mr. Bean has been a Freemason, 
and while he has not held office in the Grand Bodies, he has been 
active in maintaining the principles of that ancient and honorable 
institution and in the performance of the duties which it imposes 
upon its members in their every day life. 

For almost sixty years he has been in actual practice of the law, 
and now at the age of eighty-three, his advice is sought by numerous 
clients. 

In religion he is, and has always been, a staunch Universalist. 
He has ever been found faithful at his post of duty when the Church 
or Sunday School called. For more than forty years he has been 
superintendent of the Sabbath School, with all its fluctuations, its 
periods of growth, and of depression, being firm in his convictions of 
right and duty. 

Many young people have gone out from the little vestry, after a 
period of years as scholars there, and have built homes in other 
states, and among other people, but still their hearts turn lovingly 
and gratefully back to the early days, the little school and the prin- 
ciples inculcated therein. 

A home-loving man, his heart does not wander from the life-long 
scenes, but becomes more closely attached as time rolls on. His 
loving friends watch, with admiration, the activity, which yet is his, and 
trust that the day is far distant when he shall go out and in no more. 

His wife is (1902) at the head of the Order of the Eastern Star, an 
organization composed of the wives, daughters and sisters of Free- 
masons, and exceedingly efficient in aiding their work.

IX. Dearborn Gorham Bean 8 (Dearboriv ', James 6 , 
Joshua*, Joshua*) was born March 24, 1834, at Bean's 
Corner, Jay, Maine. He was the son of Dearborn Bean 
and Lovina Butterfield, daughter of Isaac and Polly 
[Pease] Butterfield, the latter from Martha's Vineyard 
Mass., daughter of Abisha Pease. He married May 16, 
1858, Rose Ann Winslow, daughter of Franklin and 
Rose Ann [Rowell] Winslow, b. February 24, 1836; d. 
March 24, 1895. 

His father was the oldest of a family of thirteen chil- 
dren, a farmer and the son of a farmer. From those 
days of large families and rugged soil he inherited the 
disposition and capacity for work which characterized 
him. His father died when he was but five years old. 
Not long after his mother became the wife of his father's 



88 

brother, Warren, toward whom, throughout the latter's 
life, he acted the part of a worthy son. 

His early life and education were not unlike those of 
the farmers' sons of his day. He attended the town 
schools and also had four terms at the high school in 
Wilton under that excellent and inspiring teacher, Enos 
T. Luce, then a student at Bowdoin College, now Judge 
Luce of Waltham, Mass. Until twenty-one years of 
age he lived on the home farm. During these years 
the noble outlook from the sightly hill on which his 
home was situated aroused ambitions to go forth and 
share in the labors and rewards of a larger world. 
Under Mr. Luce he had studied surveying and received 
a diploma as a civil engineer. The west offered an 
alluring field to the young surveyor and he engaged 
himself to an experienced surveyor who was about to 
start for Iowa. Unfortunately for his plans this man 
who had set out before him, was taken sick and died 
upon his arrival at Dubuque, Iowa. His purpose to go 
west as a surveyor was thus thwarted for the time and 
finally gave place to other plans. 

While still at home he had begun teaching school in 
the winters. This he continued until 1856, teaching 
in Jay, Wilton and Dixfield with marked success. He 
then entered the employ of Calvin Keyes, who was 
engaged in the manufacture of scythes at East Wilton. 
He acted as traveling salesman for him for about five 
years, when with Sewell Brown he assumed control of 
the business under the firm name of Bean and Brown. 
They did a successful business for two years until the 
opening of the Civil War when the firm was dissolved 
and the business discontinued. 

Mr. Bean had for some years been interested in mili- 
tary matters. He had received a commission from 
Governor Lot M. Morrill, bearing date of June 29, 1858, 
as Second Lieutenant of Company A, Battalion of 
Artillery of First Brigade, and Eighth of Volunteer 
Militia of Maine. This company was discharged June 
25, i860. On June 2, 1863, he was commissioned as 
enrolling officer for the town of Jay. He went to head- 
quarters at Lewiston with the men from his town where 



8 9 

he was rejected by the medical examiners because of 
physical disabilities and discharged. His interest in 
the army continued throughout the war and in 1864 
he visited the Army of the Potomac at Culpepper, 
Virginia. 

From 1864 to 1867 he lived in Bangor, being em- 
ployed by the firm of S. P. Bradbury & Co., as traveling 
salesman for their monumental works. In this business 
he gained a very thorough acquaintance with every 
part of Maine. From 1869 to 1874 he was in the em- 
ploy of Hiram Holt & Co., at East Wilton, to which 
place he removed in 1871. The business was at first 
the manufacture of scythes, but later the firm acquired 
the patent rights of the " Lightning Hay Knife." Mr. 
Bean named, developed and introduced this valuable 
implement from the Atlantic to the Pacific, himself 
visiting twenty-eight states for this purpose. For three 
years he conducted the entire business in the absence 
of Mr. Holt. Until the expiration of the patent rights 
there was a large demand for these implements and a 
large amount of money was made in their manufacture. 

Mr. Bean married Rose Ann Winslow of Jay, May 
16, 1858. Their married life was most happy. Their 
large and beautiful home at East Wilton abounded with 
comfort and refinement. Although for many years an 
invalid, Mrs. Bean's cheerful and generous disposition 
made the home a place of delightful hospitality for their 
wide circle of friends from near and far. She died 
March 24, 1895. They had no children. Their home, 
however, was always snared by their nephew, Franklin 
Winslow Johnson, from whom they withheld nothing 
which they would have bestowed upon a son. 

Mr. Bean has held numerous positions in civil and 
political life. He was first appointed Justice of the 
Peace May 8, 1872; Dedimus Justice, Dec. 24, 1884; 
Trial Justice, May 27, 1885. He was appointed Inspect- 
or of Prison and Jails, Feb. 23, 1880, for a term of four 
years by Governor Daniel F. Davis ; at the expiration 
of this term he was again appointed for a similar period 
by Governor Frederick Robie. On March 26, 1889, he 
was appointed a member of the State Valuation Com- 



9° 

mission and was for two years engaged in a revaluation 
of the property, real and personal, of the State. 

In politics he has always been an ardent Republican. 
For ten years he served as member of the Republican 
State Committee for Franklin County. His service on 
this committee brought him into intimate relation with 
the leading men of his party in the state. Among these 
were numbered Mr. Blaine, Mr. Dingley, Mr. Hamlin 
and Mr. Reed. 

In the town of Wilton he has held many offices. He 
was for many years a member of the School Committee ; 
for twenty successive years moderator at the town meet- 
ings ; for many years one of the Selectmen, and for five 
years chairman of the board; for two years collector of 
taxes. His knowledge of men and of affairs has given 
him a position of prominence, and his advice on a great 
variety of subjects has been sought and valued. 

He has never been a member of any church, but he 
has always been interested in and closely identified with 
the church at East Wilton. He has been foremost in 
the movement for a union church which has been so 
successful here, and has been one of the largest con- 
tributors for its support. He had much to do with the 
recent extensive improvements of the church building. 
He has given much attention to the care and beautify- 
ing of the cemetery and has been for many years 
president of East Wilton Cemetery Association, for the 
organization of which he was responsible. A man of 
marked public spirit, he has been identified with all 
good causes throughout his life; against all which was 
evil his face has been strongly set. 

He has been for many years a Mason. He is a mem- 
ber of the Pilgrim Commandery of Farmington. 

He has been greatly interested in seeking out the 
genealogy of his family. The local gathering of the Bean 
family was instituted by him and he was largely respon- 
sible for the larger organization of the descendants of 
John Bean (1660) of which he has been the secretary 
from the first. For many years he has been gathering 
genealogical material to which he has devoted much 
time and money.

Benjamin Franklin Bean 8 (Lyman? Jere??iy, e Joshua^) was born

He enlisted as a soldier in the War of the Rebellion on September

with the company and regiment in the fall and winter of 1862-1863,

uary the regiment was sent south, going first to Warrington, Florida, 
and from there to New Orleans, Louisiana, and Donaldsonville, Port 
Hudson, Baton Rouge, and various other points along the Mississippi 
River, where they participated actively in the service until August, 

1863, at which time the regiment was returned to Augusta, Maine, 
and was discharged by reason of the expiration of the term of ser- 
vice for which it was enlisted, viz. : nine months. He remained at 
home until the summer of 1867, at which time he went west, going to 
Waverly, Iowa, arriving there September 9, 1867. In the fall of 1869 
he was appointed Deputy Sheriff of Bremer County, and continued to 



hold that office for four years. He afterwards engaged in the grain, 
live stock and produce business at Waverly, Iowa, and continued in 
the same business until the autumn of 1889. On October 6, 1889, 
he was appointed Chief Office Deputy United States Marshal for the 
Northern District of Iowa, under the administration of President 
Benjamin Harrison. He continued to hold this office until Septem- 
ber 1, 1894, at which time he resigned. He was reappointed as 
Chief Office Deputy United States Marshal of the Northern District 
of Iowa under the administration of President William McKinley ; also 
reappointed for the same position under the administration of Presi- 
dent Theodore Roosevelt, which position he now holds. 

Harry Lyman Bean? (Benjamin Franklin* LymanT , Jeremy f> Joshua^) 
was born at Waverly, Iowa, March 16, 1876. He removed to Dubuque, 
Iowa, with his parents on November 6, 1889, and was educated in 
the public schools of Waverly and Dubuque, and business college at 
Dubuque. He removed from Dubuque on July 6, 1897 to Clinton, 
Illinois, to enter the service of the Illinois Central Railroad Com- 
pany as clerk to Division Superintendent on that railroad. He left 
Clinton and removed to Chicago, Illinois, and served as accountant 
in the office of the Chief Engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad, 
which position he still holds.
